Two women. Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life, married to hot-shot lawyer Ben, and is daughter to a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it appears . . . Aubrey has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she's convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it.
